DEVICE FOR INSERTING FELLIES.

QSPECIPICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 31%,197, dated March17, 1885. Application filed April 3, 1884. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern.-

Be it known that I JOHN G. Roll, of Shanesville, county of Tuscarawas,and State of Ohio, have invented a new and useful Improvement inFelly-Drawers; and I do hereby declare that the following is a fnll,clear, and exact description of the invention, which will enable othersskilled in the art to which it appert-ains to make and use it, referencebeing had to the accompanying drawings forming a part thereof. Y

My invention relates to improvements in felly drawers in which a screwjack and linked arms work in conjunction; and the ob- 15 jects of myinvention are, first, to draw any segment of the felly to its place, andsecond to do so without denting it, as is done by the usual method. Iattain these objects by means of the mechanism illustrated in theaccompanying drawings, in which- Figure 1 is a side elevation of a wheelhaving my invention applied. Fig. 2 is a side elevation of my invention.Fig. 3 is an edge view of the same, showing the two sides of the devicefor application on the two sides of the wheel.

A is aloose bar-handle operating the screwbar 13, turning freely inarectangular fiat head, 0, having the corners turned down, as shown indrawings, so as not to allow the felly-segment to escape. The thread ofthe bar B works in the head of the fork D, to the extremity of the armsof which are attached the links E E, to which links are attached thering-loops F F.

The operation of my invention is as follows: The segment of fellies isplaced as nearly in position as possible, when the fork D is placed downover it, the head 0 resting firmly on it,

then the loops F F are put over the outside rings of the hub and thehead 0 forced down by means of the screw-bar B and handle A, forcing thesegment before it into its place.

I am aware that a felly-drawer is known in which a U-shaped yoke forsetting over the I felly is used, with a chain connecting the long limbthereof to the hub on one side and a screw for passing through the yokeand bearing upon the felly to force it in place, and I do not claimsuch.

Having thus fully described my invention, what I claim, and desire tosecure by Letters Patent of the United States, is-

The combination. with the screw B, having a handle, and the head 0,secured loosely to the lower end of the screw, of the fork D,screw-threaded through its head for the passage of the screw B, theconnecting-links E E, and the hub-rings F F, pivoted to the limbs r ofthe fork D so as to turn laterally away from the wheel, as set forth.

In testimony that I cla1 append my signature.

JOHN G. ROH.
